That would be interesting to see. # # I tried framing it in portrait orientation, but it just wouldn't work. I can believe that. There's probably stuff that you've cropped out in landscape mode, that since I'm not there, I can't see. One of the hazards of critiquing a shot, is that you don't have access to either the original photographer's idea or, most often, know what wasn't shown in the photo. That's one reason that it's so fun to see how different photographers treat the same subject. # # Cheers, # # Rick # # http://photo.net/photos/RickW # # # --- On Sun, 2/8/09, Larry Colen <[email protected]> wrote: # # > On Sun, Feb 08, 2009 at 03:38:59AM -0800, Rick Womer wrote: # > # # > # Finally a view of the cast ironwork in the main hall: # > # # > # # > http://photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=8577835&size=lg # > # > note: I've got a crappy monitor at work that makes it # > tough to look at # > photos. # > # > You almost have two really cool shots there, but they sort # > of fight # > for attention.
